    Red NSX on East Pointe Golf Club drive on Tuesday....

    I saw a red NA1-style NSX go up and down E. Pointe Golf Club Drive on Tuesday - that's right near Lookout Mountain, close to Thunderbird & 7th St. in Phoenix. If that's you, and you live near there - we are neighbors! Want to meet up?

    In the Valley of the Sun

    Happy New Year! We have relocated our NSX from our home in San Francisco to our home in Phoenix. (It was a great drive, going via I-40 and US-93.) In the SF Bay Area, there is a vibrant NSX scene - monthly coffee meet-ups, a great annual holiday get-together, and so-on. What's the NSX social...

    NSX sun visors...

    Both gray visors on the '91 NSX are in bad shape with splitting. However, the driver's side (left) "broke" over the weekend. Something snapped inside. Now it flops down. Flop, flop, flop. It's very sad. My wife and I are going to try to repair... but if I can replace them affordably, that would...

    Clanking while cooling and smell

    All, Last night I took the baby ('91 stick) out to run an errand - probably three miles out, three miles back. When I got to the store, the car smelled "hot" when I got out. When I got home and put the car into the garage, it smelled really hot. It reminded me of the smell years ago when I...

    Suspension Suspension parts from lowered '91

    From my '91. We removed these earlier this year when reverting the car to stock height. The work was done by Don at Hilltop Auto Service in Daly City... I'd like to get $100 for these. Would prefer to sell to someone local (SF Bay Area) to avoid shipping etc.

    Exterior For sale: Guppy Attack antenna (new in box)

    For sale: Guppy Attack antenna (new in box) The antenna came, we looked at it, and decided not to install it. Rather, we decided to stick with the unobtrusive OEM antenna, which is locked into the "down" position by removing the power to the motor. I paid $50; looking for $50 + actual...

    Wheel locks - good idea or bad idea?

    Friends, I don't have wheel locks on my '91 NSX (with OEM wheels). It didn't come with any, and I had a bad experience many years ago with my Mustang, when I had a flat tire and couldn't find the key to the wheel locks. :mad: I've also heard that they don't slow down professional thieves...

    Restoring an alloy wheel in the SF Bay Area

    Hi, folks, I just purchased, thanks to a fellow Prime member, a nice set of alloy wheels to replace my "strongly disliked" OEM 15/16 chrome five-spokes. Three of the four wheels are very good, but the fourth is, well, meh. Scratches, road rash, discoloration, peeling clearcoat. (I knew this in...

    Minimum tread depth - 3/32 for NSX?

    Hi, folks, In general, I change the tires on my cars when the guy at the shop measures them at 3/32. Is 3/32 a reasonable minimum tread for a street-only NSX that won't ever see snow (SF Bay Area). Or are there performance/safety issues that would set a higher threshold for this car? Thanks! -A

    Converted to LED brake light bulbs, very happy

    Hi, all, All of our other cars either have LED OEM brake lights or have been converted to LEDs over the years. So, moving our new 1991 NSX to LEDs was high on the priority list - we believe that the fast-responding LEDs are better for safety. The project is complete, and we are very happy with...

    Recommended aftermarket alarm models - and installers

    Good morning! The new baby ('91) didn't come with the remote entry system - never installed. This is an annoyance. So, it's off to the aftermarket to find one that includes the door remote entry (with chirp!) and remote popper for the trunk. Okay, I'm lazy & spoiled. First question: Should I...

    Suggestion for tire patch kit

    Hi, all, Which tire patch kit should I buy? Any specific recommendations? Background: The spare tire on our new '91 is all cracked. Probably worthless. Given that we live in the Bay Area, and nearly all the time will be in the Bay Area within easy AAA range, we feel safe not having a spare...

    Need to RAISE the NSX an inch to stop scraping

    Hello, folks, New NSX owner here - please be gentle. <smile> My 1991 black beauty scrapes on everything - my driveway, my office's driveway, the grocery store's parking lot entryway. The car has 205/50ZR15 on the front, 225/50ZR16 on the rear. Am wondering: 1. Is it possible to raise the car...
